[She'd expected it to be like making a pact, on some level - prove your resolve, make a vow - and, well. She's not wrong exactly, but the way it feels is worlds apart. Sure, Undine had seemed to be able to see through everyone, but even summoning her hadn't been this direct. Almost as if someone's moved into her head.
The mana that wraps around Sheena is deep and alien in the way that everything in this world has felt and almost like a summon spirit, but it's also familiar in a way she'd never expected to feel again. She'd closed her eyes in concentration when she reached out, unsure what an Aegis would need from her to awaken, but they snap open now, before he's even finished taking form. Her hand feels tethered to the crystal like it's a lifeline - for her, or for him? - but the other one flies up to her mouth.]
I AM TERRIFIED
